Chicken Road is a single-player instant game in which a chicken progresses toward a golden egg. The player selects Easy, Medium, Hard or Hardcore before advancing. Each further step adds exposure to failure, while the selected difficulty changes the progression's risk and potential return. Its step-by-step decisions differ from a shared aircraft crash round that continues on a timer. The higher difficulty setting is not a promise of better results.

The library also explains how crash and instant-game rounds differ to help put these mechanics in context.
